Your midweek song: 'Shot at the Night,' by the Killers

It's turning out to be an unseasonably warm autumn, which is making being outside in the evening an appealing process. Really, it's been lovely. And so is this new song from the Killers, “Shot at the Night,” with its pleading vocals and sweet Cinderella story video:

In all honesty, it's a fairly straightforward rock ballad, but there's something strangely understated that makes it an appealing song … innocuous at worst, and fairly moving if it hits you at the right angle. (Victor D. Infante)
